Butterfly Stained Glass

Good Sunday morning all!  I found this little gem in one of my folders and just thought it was a beautiful card to share on a Sunday morning!  I started by cutting the Butterfly Stained Glass out of coconut white card.  I glued it to acetate and used crystal tints to colour it.  I filled them in from the front of the die cut (you can also do it from the back if you prefer.) I used the Yellow Citrine, Rose Quartz and the Lime Peridot Crystal Tint colours for the card.  I mixed the yellow and red to add a bit of orange to the card.   Once dry, I cut another of the Butterfly Stained Glass dies and glued it on top of the original one to hide any marks from the crystal tint in those tiny areas.  I cut a backing card of white and added a self adhesive sticky sheet.  I peeled the backing off and added Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I left a rather wide border around the die so I added tape and attached it over the glittered background piece. I love the way the glitter shows through the crystal tint areas and gives it a subtle sparkle!   The card was completed with white on white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 5 3/4" x  7" in size.  All for now.
